Outstanding tonewoods, craftsmanship and pro electronics separate the Alvarez AD66CE acoustic electric guitar from every other guitar anywhere near this price range! Character and personality are really hard to find in an inexpensive acoustic guitar, but the AD66CE provides warm, deep bass, taut mids and a balanced high-end.
At the heart of the AD66CESB's amazing tone is its hand-sanded scalloped bracing, which allows the top to resonate more freely without compromising strength and stability. If you didn't think an inexpensive acoustic could put out this much bottom end, think again!
Alvarez's bi-level bridge puts more down-pressure on the genuine bone saddle, creating a more efficient energy transfer from the strings to the top, giving you more volume than you ever thought possible from a guitar in this price range. A bone nut and rosewood bridge pins keep the good vibrations happening. Alvarez also refined their neck profile, with a thinner, faster neck that plays easier, yet still feels solid in your hands.
The AD66CESHB features an LR Baggs Stage Pro EQ and Element pickup system, known for its big, natural, open tone when plugged in. With all of these pro-caliber features, the AD66CESB sets a new value standard for acoustic guitars.

Low frets, good sound
Upon arrival, I had to adjust the truss rod a full turn for it to even think of playing correctly (I've been playing for over 20 years and also do luthier work). Once the neck finally settled, I decided to play a few things and see how she sounded. The 1st and 2nd fret were low. Everything else was ...

Definitely worth the price
I was looking for an inexpensive acoustic but with preamp ability. I am very satisfied with the Alvarez. It’s tone and tuning ability makes it a steal at this price.
